"Christian Wiman takes readers through the ostensible ordinariness of life and reveals the extraordinary. . . . Through a luminous array of poetry and prose, Wiman captures joy in contemporary contexts. . . . Wiman's own encounters with the blaze of pain that sharpens one's observations of the world are what make him such a careful and judicious reader. . . . Wiman understands joy expansively, and uses these poems as a means by which his readers can discover and recall its meaning."--Adrianna Smith, Atlantic "Amid the darkness of this season -- nay, this moment in history -- this book of poems is certainly prescriptive, the antidote to deepening psychic ails. . . . Wiman's own history of mortal sufferings. . . makes him a sharp-eyed explorer, on vigilant watch for those shimmering shards of joy along the circuitous climb. . . . In an introduction worthy of memorization, Wiman writes: ' Joy is the only inoculation against the despair to which any sane person is prone.'"--Barbara Mahany, Chicago Tribune (featured in Chicago Tribune's holiday roundup) "This is an original, necessary, and illuminating book: it shines a light on an often overlooked aspect of poetry, and on Wiman's own work, too."-- Paul Elie, author of The Life You Save May Be Your Own and Reinventing Bach "This bold anthology provides readers with a wealth of reflection and insight on the epiphanies, large and small, that help give meaning to our lives. These poems remind us that joy is deep, and necessary."--Kathleen Norris, author of Acedia & Me and Journey: New & Selected Poems "The force of this wonderful collection (and the wonderful introductory essay) is the recognition that joy cannot be argued away. In the centre of our human nightmares something opens and flowers, completely unreasonably, completely undeniably. That is what is celebrated here."--Rowan Williams, theologian and poet (Cambridge) " Joy is an indispensable collection that will buoy up the darkest reader. Truly, Christian Wiman is a genius to have ranged so far (and deep!) to gather in one spot so many unforgettable poems to convince this glum bunny there's more light than dark in our wiggly world."--Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club , Lit , and Sinners Welcome, "Bursting with energy and surprising locutions. . . . Even the most familiar poets seem somehow new within the context of Joy."--David Skeel, Wall Street Journal "Christian Wiman takes readers through the ostensible ordinariness of life and reveals the extraordinary."--Adrianna Smith, The Atlantic "Amid the darkness of this season -- nay, this moment in history -- this book of poems is certainly prescriptive, the antidote to deepening psychic ails. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
